Take a Back Sent leE.

The Charleston News and Courier said
JeffDayis ought not to go to Atlanta to
meet President Cleveland. All the other
ex-rebel Bourbon organs jumped onto the
paper and it hits back as follows:
MIR. Davis is entitled to all possible
consideration for what he was. The
News and Courier deals with him as he
IS. 1t is true that he is a man without
country, but this is his own fault or
choice. The political disabilities of Mr..
Davis would be removed upon petition,
as were the political disabilities of Vice
President Stephens, Postmaster-General
Keogh, and host of other confederates
of high position. 1t is his preference to
stand alone and be a confederate sign
post. The man who declines to be an
American citizen, and who takes pride
in avoiding the responsibilities of citizen
ship, should at least hold his tongue and
curb his pen, instead of forcing his
council and his grievance upon the con-
sideration of those whose duties and obi
cations he is unwilling to share. Mr..
Davis turns his back upon the union as
it is and is at war with settled and I'M
changeable facts. If he is right then j.
f. johnson, the Lees, Gordon, Beaure-
gard, Colquitt, Nichols, Baxter, aamp-
ton, MCGOWAN, the Vance, Payne, Cock
erell, and all the long line of confederate
soldiers and statesmen, saving himselfe
are utterly and meanly wrong.
The News and Courier has gone furth-
er than any other newspaper in the
United States in asserting the rightful-
ness of secession, and the absolute JUS
tice of the southern cause. 1t has never
allowed a denial of this to pass I'M
challenged 1t has been so faithful to
the confederacy that it is even to this
day denounced as a rebel newspaper.
Year after year it has told the story of
the glory of the boys who wore the gray,
but it is not a blind worshiper of Mr..
Davis. In its eyes the ex-confederates,
in their sufierings, in their struggles, in
their proud success, are more a thousand
fold than Mr.. Davis was or is, and
whenever the idiosyneracies Mr.. Davis
orhis weaknesses conflict with the inter
ests barefooted boys of twenty years ago,
twill say 50 unhesitatingly and without
caring jot for the sneers or abuse of
persons who were safe in their cradles or
IN official bomb-proofs when the fight for
confederacy was made and lost
The cause of the ex-confederates to-
day is the cause Of the United States.
The United States is their country.
They have no other, and want no other.

There appeared to be some disagree

As he could not be justly accused of

was ON her side.

DEAFNESS CAN'T BE CURED
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed, you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, aud when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but au in
famed condition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we caunot cure by taking

OUR CHRISTMAS GREETINGS.

The silvery chimes of Christmas
bells that will break in sweet tones
upon the ear in IA few brief hours,
will tell us old Father Time has
completed another cycle, and loud
and clear upon the air, keeping
time to the music of the bells, will be
announce a Merry Christmas. The
great anniversary of the birth OF
Christ is here, and there echoes
through the corridors of time the
same sweet message that the angels
sang eighteen hundred years ago
"Pc ice on earth good will to man"
Since we extended our Christmas
greeting, twelve months ago, we
have each and all had much to be
thankful for-much to make life
worth living. But amid the sun
shine there has been some rain
Death has come to many a home
aud robbed from it some dear one
around whom the chords of love
had been entwined. A parents
heart has been made to bleed, sis
ter's, brothers. or friends tears
have flllen at the tomb of one shut
out forever from earthly vision. =
Let us not forget the hand that
delt the blow, and bow submissive

Der no life is full of sunshine; the
brighter the light the more intense
the shadow, and there are few of us
who have not realized that joy 5 9th
or side is sorrow. THERE'S no ami.
versary that opens the flood gates of
memory like Christmas tide, so redo
lent of innocent mirth and tender
home recollections. The interven-
ing years are swept aside rs u flimsy
veil, and friends who left us in the
dim twilight of the long ago are
with us in memory as we make glad
our holiday season..
OF all festival times Christmas is
the one most independent of the
weather. Though storms and tenn
pests roar without, within each
home. at least on this blessed day,
there is warmth and radiance. How
like to the ideal life of the Christian
in this world! Let the outward cir
cumstanceS that surround him be
what they may; let storms arise and
foes assail, still within his heart is
that "peace" which angels pro-
claimed more than eighteen hundred
years ago to the wondering shep-
herds on the plains Of Bethlehem.

PRESERVING CUT FLOWERS.

Cut flowers may be preserved fresh. it
is said, for long time in the following
manner Get glass shade and place it
on a non-porous vessel to form stand;
put water round the bottom to keep the
shade alright, then procure fresh cut
blossoms, put them in water Immediately,
drop into the water in which the flowers
are placed small quantity of spirit of
chloroform, and place the shade over
them at once. The flowers thus treated,
some writer says, will keep fresh for
months, but one should hardly expect
they would be in a very fresh condition
after their four weeks confinement, but
the new preserving process is worth try
ing. Care should be taken to have all in
readiness. As soon as the chloroform is
put in, place the shade over them. and
water always kept round the bottom. \
large soup plate would do for this.
